I am trying to get SMTP auth to work using PAM I have the following in my
config file
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $2
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if pam($1:$2){1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $1
and
EXIM_USER = cyrus
EXIM_GROUP = mail
/etc/pam.d/exim contains
auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so icase dump debug
db=/etc/pam.d/mail
privilages on the database file /etc/pam.d/mail
I also have one called mail incase it doesnt add a .db ext to it but still
to no avail
-r-xr-xr-x 1 exim mail 16384 Dec 10 00:17 mail.db
when i run exim with -bd -q15m -d9
[B
i get this on the screen
SMTP>> 250-wwwatack.atackscomputers.co.uk Hello atack5.atack [192.168.1.5]

and in /var/log/messages i get

password `XXXXXXXXXXXX'
Dec 10 09:51:12 wwwatack pam_userdb[9006]: user_lookup: could not open
database `/etc/pam.d/mail'
This all works fine for cyrus imap but doesnt work for exim
can you tell me what privilages exim runs pam under and how to get it so
that it can open the database with username and password pairs in it?
Thanks
Simon
